nhabit Media Inc. is the first Inuit-owned, independent publishing
company in the Canadian Arctic. We aim to promote and preserve
the stories, knowledge, and talent of the Arctic, while also supporting
research in Inuit mythology and the traditional Inuit knowledge of
Nunavummiut (residents of Nunavut, Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s northernmost territory).
Our authors, storytellers, and artists bring traditional knowledge to life in
a way that is accessible to readers both familiar and unfamiliar with Inuit
culture and traditions.
Incorporated in 2006, Inhabit Media was born out of a need
for Nunavut kids to see their culture accurately represented in the
books they read in schools. We have spent the last ten years working
with elders and storytellers from across the Canadian Arctic to ensure
that the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unique Inuit oral history is recorded and not lost to
future generations.
Many of the stories that we publish have never been written
down before, having existed for centuries as tales passed orally from
generation to generation. While many of these stories are ancient, we
work closely with elders, contemporary Inuit writers, and illustrators the
world over to present folktales and traditional stories in a format that
will resonate with modern audiences across North America. Our books
do not simply provide a glimpse into Inuit culture; they also represent
the preservation of oral history and traditional knowledge that may
otherwise have been lost, in a format that contemporary readers will
find engaging, entertaining, and informative.
As the first independent publishing company in Nunavut, we are
excited to bring Arctic stories and wisdom to the world!

An excerpt from Those Who Dwell Below
The water was glacial, crushing the breath out of Pituâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lungs
and squeezing his stomach tight. His thoughts and worries left his
mind, and all that remained was panic rushing through his entire
body. As he sank beneath the ice, Pitu felt as though he was being
stabbed from all directions. For a moment, he thought it might be
the qallupilluit, their long, sharp nails piercing him. Eventually,
Pitu opened his eyes, and for a moment they burned. But he could
see that he was alone in the darkness. Soon the burning dissipated.
He looked around, and above him he could see a jagged cast of
light. As he descended, as he watched that light drifting farther
and blurring with the salt and ice, a calmness engulfed him.
Pitu held his breath, but he also felt the absence of needing
to breathe. The current kept pulling him deeper into the ocean.
The stabbing pain of the cold had stopped, and now Pitu only felt
numb. The light had disappeared completely now. Though he was
surrounded by darkness, Pitu was comfortable in it.
His eyes began to adjust to the darkness and suddenly there
was no darkness at all. The water surrounding him had turned
a beautiful shade of blue, and inexplicable floes of ice floated
around him. The floes cast bright lights that were unlike sunlight
or moonlight. Their soft glow created an exquisite colourful aura.
This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t how nature works, Pitu thought.

Siuluk is so strong that he can carry an entire walrus over his shoulder.

Nadia Sammurtok is an Inuit
writer and educator originally
from Rankin Inlet, Nunavut.
Nadia is passionate about
preserving the traditional
Inuit lifestyle and Inuktitut
language so that they may be
enjoyed by future generations.

all—but how?
Based on traditional stories from the Chesterfield Inlet area of the Kivalliq region
of Nunavut, this tale of Siuluk and his legendary strength will captivate young
readers.

A Children’s Guide to Arctic Butterflies
Written by Mia Pelletier | Illustrated by Danny Christopher

A

bout fifty species of butterflies live in the North
American Arctic. While most Arctic animals
have warm, woolly coats or thick layers of blubber,
butterflies have only their fluttering, delicate wings.
The hardy butterflies that live in the Arctic have
had to find clever ways to keep themselves warm
in cool summers and survive icy cold winters. In A
Children’s Guide to Arctic Butterflies, young readers
learn about twelve of the butterfly species that call
the Arctic home and how they survive from one
summer to the next.
With a simple layout and easy-to-follow headings
for each butterfly, this beautiful book is filled with
fun, useful facts, including introductory material
about the life cycle and anatomy of butterflies.

Mia Pelletier grew up exploring the lakes and
forests of the Canadian Shield. Drawn to
shorelines and wild places, Mia studied ecology
and lived in California and the Magdalen Islands
before moving to Baffin Island, Nunavut, in 2010.
In Nunavut, she works with Arctic seabirds. She
also works with Inuit on the co-management of
protected areas. Mia enjoys exploring the Arctic
tundra and learning about the fascinating plants,
animals, and people that call this region home.
Danny Christopher has travelled throughout the
Canadian Arctic as an instructor for Nunavut
Arctic College. He is the illustrator of The Legend
of the Fog, A Children’s Guide to Arctic Birds,
and Animals Illustrated: Polar Bear, and author of
Putuguq and Kublu. His work on The Legend of

Toronto with his wife, four children, and dog.

Feathered Fact: A beak or a bill?
The words “beak” and “bill” are both used
for birds. Other animals, such as octopuses
or turtles, also have beaks, but the word
“bill” is most often used for birds. A broad,
strong, short bill used for tearing or striking
prey, such as those found on owls or hawks,
is usually called a “beak.”

Common Eider
Down Feather

Feathers
What is special about birds? Many other animals have wings, such as butterflies,
bats, and bees. Other animals, like turtles, lizards, and frogs, lay eggs. But birds
are the only animals on earth that are covered in feathers. Feathers keep birds
warm and dry, and they allow them to escape their enemies and fly far away as the
seasons change. They also help them find and attract mates.
The colours and patterns of a bird’s feathers can be changed with the
seasons to keep birds safely hidden. Birds change their feathers by moulting. This
means that old, worn feathers are shed away and fresh new ones grow in.

Bills come in many shapes and sizes. The shape of a bird’s bill can tell us a lot about what
it eats. Seed-eaters, insect-eaters, and fish-catchers all have uniquely shaped bills. These
special shapes help them catch their favourite foods. A long, curved bill is perfect for
probing in the mud for tiny animals, while a strong, heavy bill can be handy for breaking
seeds. Can you guess what each of these birds might eat by the shape of its bill?

Feathered Fact: As they migrate, phalaropes
have been known to gather in flocks around grey
whales and bowhead whales, feeding on the
crustaceans that the whales stir up from the mud
as they are feeding.

Length: 18–20 cm
Wingspan: 40–45 cm

The female red phalarope is slightly bigger than the male. Her dark cap, white
cheeks, and bright, rusty chest and belly make her much more colourful than the
male. Phalaropes have long necks, short, grey legs, lobed toes, and yellow bills tipped
with black.
Where to Look: Red phalaropes nest in wet tundra along Arctic shores. They like to
nest close to Arctic terns, because terns chase away the predators that come looking
for eggs!
What They Eat: Phalaropes eat insects and their larvae, snails, and crustaceans,
picking up food as they wade along the shore. They also spin on the surface of the
water in fast, tight circles, making whirlpools that pull food up to the surface where
their bills are waiting!
Listen For: The phalarope’s call can be a high “Pseet!,” a long “Sw-eet!,” or a
whistling “Wit!”
Nest: Phalaropes make a small hollow lined with moss, grass, or lichen that is often
hidden in the grass close to water.
Egg: A phalarope lays 4 olive-coloured eggs freckled with brown. After laying her
eggs, the female phalarope leaves the male behind to care for the eggs and chicks all
on his own.
Chick: The downy, cinnamon-coloured chicks hatch after 18 to 24 days and can leave
the nest on their first day out of the egg to hunt for food!
During the Winter: Phalaropes change into grey-and-white feathers for the winter
and fly south to the deep, warm waters of the southern Atlantic ocean, off the coasts
of South America and southwest Africa.

What I Remember, What I Know
Written by Larry Audlaluk

L

arry Audlaluk has seen incredible changes
in his lifetime. Born in northern Quebec, he
relocated with his family to the High Arctic in the
early 1950s. They were promised a land of plenty.
They discovered an inhospitable polar desert.
Sharing memories both painful and joyous, Larry
takes the reader on a journey to the Arctic as his
family struggles to survive and new communities
are formed. By turns heartwrenching and
humorous, Larry tells of his journey through
relocation, illness, residential schooling, and the
encroachment of southern culture.

Larry Audlaluk was born in Uugaqsiuvik, a small
camp west of Inukjuak in northern Quebec. He
was relocated to the High Arctic with his family
when he was two years old. Larry was inducted
into the Order of Canada for his years working
as an ambassador for the people of Grise Fiord,
Canada’s northernmost civilian settlement, and is
the community’s longest-living resident.

An excerpt from
What I Remember, What I Know
Many stories have been written about how Inuit
families were relocated to the High Arctic. The
one most written about is economic opportunity.
The other is sovereignty. The writers are always
careful to use the word “claims” when they’re
talking about sovereignty, as if to make our
claims untrue. The story is long, complicated,
and documented by various groups, besides the
official records. It has been told from so many
angles and moods, from social and political
perspectives. I will tell you the story of my
family’s relocation from personal experience.

assive, elusive, and always deserving of
respect, the walrus is one of the Arctic’s most
recognizable animals. For thousands of years,
Arctic residents have shared the coastlines and
waters of the Arctic with these huge beasts.
Often misunderstood by people who have not
had first-hand encounters with them, walruses
are known to those who share their habitat as
somewhat unpredictable creatures, always
deserving of caution when encountered. From
close encounters with angry walruses bent on
destroying boats and chasing off humans to
witnessing the attentive care of a walrus mother
with its calf, this book gives readers from outside
the Arctic a first-hand look at what life alongside
walruses is really like.
Aiviq: Life with Walruses features stunning wildlife
photography by acclaimed photographer Paul
Souders accompanied by first-hand accounts
from people living alongside this enormous sea
mammal.
Paul Souders is a professional photographer and
has been travelling around the world, across all
seven continents, for more than thirty years. His
images have appeared around the globe in a
wide variety of publications, including National
Geographic, Geo in France and Germany, and
Time and Life magazines, as well as hundreds of
publishing and advertising projects. His recent
photography work in the Arctic has drawn wide
acclaim, including first-place awards at the BBC
Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition in
2011 and 2013, the National Geographic Photo
of the Year contest in 2013, and Grand Prize in
the 2014 Big Picture Competition. Over the last
three decades he has visited more than sixty-five
countries and has been slapped by penguins,
head-butted by walruses, terrorized by lions, and
menaced by vertebrates large and small.

utaraq and Simonie are eager to go on
their first hunting trip with their father. As
they load up their snowmobile and sled for the
trip, Nutaraq hopes that she will catch her first
caribou, with some help from her dad. But as
the trip nears its end and Nutaraq still hasn’t
caught her first caribou, she tries her hardest
to follow all of her father’s advice about how
Inuit traditionally hunted on the land. Focusing
not only on basic, practical hunting techniques
but also on traditional values surrounding the
treatment of animals and the sharing of food, this
book introduces young readers to traditional Inuit
hunting practices and treatment of game.
Chris Giroux came into the world during a raging
blizzard that grounded all the planes, so his mother
gave birth to him in Pangnirtung, Nunavut, rather
than Iqaluit. Spending most of his childhood living
with his Inuit grandparents, Chris learned about the
land, animals, survival, and how to live in balance
with nature. He learned from an early age to love
and respect the land and his elders and made
sure to pass this gratitude for the land’s gifts to his
own children. Our First Caribou Hunt is Chris’s first
children’s book. It captures treasured memories of
taking his own children hunting on the land.
Jennifer Noah grew up in the south but always
had a fondness for the North. She would often
write short stories about Inuit children in her primary
school years. Jennifer hopes to continue writing
for children and sharing the rich knowledge and
traditions of Inuit through her written work.

"Our Hands Remember is an important guide to
traditional grass basket sewing, rich with details
capturing the complex patterns and close stitching
unique to the Belcher Islands. This book has
enormous value in expanding our knowledge and the
ability of subsequent generations to participate in this
cultural practice . . . As you read, imagine gathering
ivigak in the bitter winter cold and biting off the
green and juicy ends of new shoots, found buried
beneath the snow, to taste the approaching spring."
